SPRING VALLEY PROJECT
Solidus Resources is on the verge of advancing Spring Valley in Pershing County, Nevada, USA, through construction and eventually into operations. Solidus is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Waterton Gold, a private mining company. Since consolidating 100% ownership of Spring Valley in 2015, Solidus has substantially de-risked the project through extensive technical work programs, including drilling, metallurgical testwork, hydrological studies, and geotechnical analyses and a Feasibility Study completed in 2025. With all major federal permits in place, Spring Valley is now entering the construction phase, marking a key milestone in its path toward first gold production in the first half of 2028; as such, Spring Valley represents Nevada’s next large-scale, low-cost, heap-leach gold mine.
Asset Highlights:
Jason Attew, President & CEO of OR Royalties commented: “Consolidating our royalty interest in Spring Valley, a fully permitted, multi-million-ounce gold project in Nevada, is a high-conviction move for OR Royalties. This acquisition enhances our peer-leading growth profile by adding significant, long-life gold production starting in 2028 (with GEOs to OR Royalties starting as early as 2029), further validating our strategy of acquiring top-tier assets in the world’s best mining jurisdictions.”
